Yeah, flip flops are 'thongs' here. But I ain't never heard of 'G Bangers' ?? Must be a NSW thing!!

What's the "G" stand for?

John Holgate - 23-4-2011 at 05:26 PM

Must either be slang for Gloria Jean's coffee shops (??!!) or G strings. As for what the G stands for....even Wikipedia didn't clarify that one :shocked2:

From HERE

Theory One: It's short for "girdle string."
The first known reference to the item was found in J.H. Beadles' Western Wilds penned in 1878. "Around each boy's waist is the tight 'geestring,' from which a single strip of cloth runs between the limbs from front to back." Back in the day, a girdle pretty much fit the above description.

Theory Two: It's a reference to a fiddle.
Musically speaking, a G-string is the lowest, darkest string on a violin. The emphasis on this theory is on the word "low" -- low note, low-cut underwear.

Theory Three: It comes from a Native American word.
Many etymologists believe that it originated from the native word "geestringi." Apparently this was an item of clothing worn by some Plains Indians. The word was changed to the more English sounding "G-string."

I know that when in doubt, go for C. It always seems to work. But this time, Eddy, I'm going to throw caution to the wind and select 'A'.

Eddy: Now don't rush your answer, you have 15 seconds on the clock and you're playing for $15,000..... What draws you to 'A'?

Well, Eddy, I don't think it is 'B' 'cos Stratoverdicas invented the violin in the 50's and I don't think it's 'C' because Native American Indians invented the track-suite pant and have been wearing them since 1400 BC

Eddy: That's your final answer then? Locked in 'A'. The term 'G string' originated.........we'll have the answer after this short break.....

Perhaps I should have aborted this post......
